Fort Knox, KY Contractor
Fort Knox is a census-designated place and US Army installation spanning parts of Hardin, Meade, and Bullitt counties. We are a licensed and insured Kentucky contractor working the counties around it. The realistic path onto the installation itself is as a subcontractor to a prime contractor that already holds the work, so most of what we do in this area is off-post — Radcliff, Vine Grove, Elizabethtown, and Brandenburg.
About Fort Knox
Fort Knox is a census-designated place and US Army installation spanning parts of Hardin, Meade, and Bullitt counties. We are a licensed and insured Kentucky contractor working the counties around it. The realistic path onto the installation itself is as a subcontractor to a prime contractor that already holds the work, so most of what we do in this area is off-post — Radcliff, Vine Grove, Elizabethtown, and Brandenburg.
Soil & Bedrock
The Fort Knox area sits on the Muldraugh Hill escarpment — limestone and shale with shallow bedrock on the ridges and deeper silt loam in the valleys and along Otter Creek. Rock is a normal condition on excavation here, and steep transitions make erosion control a real part of the scope.
Permits & Inspections
Work on the installation is controlled by the Army through the contractor holding that award, not by local permit offices. Off-post work is permitted by the City of Radcliff, the City of Vine Grove, Hardin County, or Meade County depending on where the property sits, with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet handling state route entrances.
What We Do Here
Off-post concrete, excavation, grading, drainage, and demolition for apartment complexes, retail, restaurants, schools, and industrial property in the communities that serve the installation. For prime contractors and commercial GCs working the corridor, we bid defined sitework and concrete packages as a subcontractor.
